The below sections give example configurations for either using grub or using lilo together with syslinux. Install grub to corresponding place with your platform information. The first warning is to be expected as we are not installing the boot loader onto the hard disk in the computer.
The second warning will only cause a problem on machines that are old; if it is a problem try cutting down the kernel by removing modules. Next install syslinux onto the USB stick. Although it is possible to use the system just made as a standard Gentoo system, it might be worthwhile to compile binary packages on a host and then installing them on the USB stick.

The dd utility will not return any progress output it can provide some progress output, but not without some finagling. The command will exit without any errors when it completes the transfer successfully i.
Be patient! The remainder of this document explains how to setup a vfat partition that is writable using the syslinux bootloader instead of isolinux. An example partitioning scheme can be seen below:. The files need to be reordered since syslinux will be used as the bootloader instead of isolinux :.
Adjust the syslinux configuration file using sed as shown below. The slowusb parameter will introduce some extra delays before attempting to mount the filesystem. This is needed to allow the USB drive to settle upon detection. Finally install the syslinux bootloader on the USB drive:. Rufus is a free and open source project created to write images to USB drives, with a variety of operating systems. It tends to be faster than the Universal USB installer see in the next section.
Rufus can be downloaded from the project's homepage. Rufus is easy to use and should be mostly self explanatory. For more information, see Rufus' FAQ page. It supports most Linux distributions, and has a simple, helpful wizard for selecting the Linux distribution. You should then be ready to go.
